TRANSFORMER BASED SERIES DOHERTY POWER AMPLIFIER - A simplified explanation of the abstract
This abstract first appeared for US patent application 20240356192 titled 'TRANSFORMER BASED SERIES DOHERTY POWER AMPLIFIER
The patent application is for a series Doherty power amplifier with two transformers. The amplifier includes a main amplifier and an auxiliary amplifier, each coupled to a transformer, which in turn is connected to a load.
- The series Doherty power amplifier consists of a main amplifier and an auxiliary amplifier.
- Each branch of the amplifier is connected to a transformer, which is then linked to the load.
- The primary inductor of the first transformer is connected to the main amplifier, while the secondary inductor is linked to the load.
- The second branch includes the auxiliary amplifier and a second transformer connected to the secondary inductor of the first transformer.
- The load is connected in series to both branches and in shunt to the main and auxiliary amplifiers.
